Thoreau writes in his journal:
Returning, stopped at Barrett’s sawmill while it rained a little . . . Said that about as many logs were brought to his mill as ten years ago,—he did not perceive the difference,—but they were not so large, and perhaps they went further for them . . .
Thoreau gives $1 to help fund a tour of England for A. Bronson Alcott (Ralph Waldo Emerson journals and notebooks. Houghton Library, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass.).
